heal.abstract | Bubbles appear in many technological and industrial applications, in the fields of medicine, pharmacology, materials science and the chemical industry. In medicine, microbubbles are used as contrast agents in combination with ultrasound waves, as they amplify the signal, improving image quality. They are also applied to new therapeutic techniques aimed at eliminating clots or removing tumors, as they can be selectively directed to specific targets. These important applications underscore the importance of knowing the physical behavior of bubbles under ultrasound waves. Despite the potential impact this technology could have on the clinic, there are currently concerns about its effectiveness, uniformity and safety. These challenges are ultimately due to the limited ability to control the dynamics of microbubbles during ultrasound exposure. The present Thesis provides some insight information on the physics of isolated bubbles placed in an infinite medium. The corresponding flow equations are solved numerically, providing predictions of the pressures and temperatures developing inside collapsing bubbles at conditions considering the physical properties of various human tissues. The simulation results suggest that the same amplitudes of individual components, and frequency difference are beneficial for enhancing the bubble cavitation.The effect of the dualfrequency excitation on the inertial cavitation threshold was studied to optimize the outcome. Especially in the tissues, heart and brain, dual frequency and especially 3. 1+3. 5 MHz brought about a significant increase in temperature and pressure which is desirable in therapeutic applications of microbubbles. Overall, this work may provide a theoretical model for further investigation of dualfrequency excitation and its applications for a better outcome. | en |
